In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all, Beowulf. After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, he incurs the undying wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother, who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalizing the name of Beowulf.
Academy Award®-winning director Robert Zemeckis tells the oldest epic tale in the English language with the most modern technology, advancing the cinematic form through the magic of digitally enhanced live-action.
Unlike anything you will see this year, “Beowulf” represents a decade long quest for New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman
(the graphic novels Mirrormask and Sandman), and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Roger Avary ("Pulp Fiction") to see the myth adapted to the big screen.
With Real D, Dolby Digital 3D and IMAX 3D “Beowulf” delivers an unparalleled immersive experience that transports you to the
age of heroes.
A stellar cast is led by Ray Winstone (“The Departed,” "Sexy Beast") in the title role. Joining him are Academy Award® winner Anthony Hopkins as the cursed King Hrothgar, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Oscar® winner Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother.
